Experts expect big El Nino

In concurring with Timmermann, Zafar Adeel of the United Nations University in Hamilton, Canada, said: “We already know what happens when a big El Nino hits. Thus vulnerable populations can be identified and emergency plans put in place.”

… Zafar added that a big El Nino need not be a disaster but people must be prepared. “You need that trigger saying, ‘Yes, it’s going to be a big one,’” he said.
